Hog roast hire in Firle, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for wakes and club events and presentations.
Somewhere as small as Firle, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Firle is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Your questions about a hog roast in Firle
Can you roast near the sea around Firle?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We cater across East Sussex, including Firle. Get in touch for a price.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
